If not the standout, Nezahualcóyotl is at the very least a leading candidate to be deemed the station with the most difficult to pronounce name.

Located just outside the fringes of the Federal District in Mexico State, the surrounds of one side of the station provide another perceptual journey into a bygone era.

A proportionately high number of canine rovers lounge, laze and lark in the streets. Their furry faces feature in the gallery.

And with so many barking comrades running free it’s no wonder that there are other dogs (domesticated home dwellers) that flee their homes to join the emancipated brigade, leaving their hapless owners to post sorry pleas on community noticeboards.

Cacti scatter the area and I was even able to snap that elusive juxtaposition of cactus and metro train.

Tick.

Finally, I never thought that this project would lead me to increase my knowledge of forests of Pakistan, Mongolia and Iran but after traversing the streets that bear their names (Bosques de Pakistan, Bosques de Mongolia, Bosques de Iran) I plan to become an autodidact on the subject.
